Spatial and temporal variations of forest LAI in China during 2000–2010
2012
Chinese Science Bulletin
Forests are crucial terrestrial ecosystems. Their leaf area index (LAI) is a key parameter determining the exchange of matter and energy between the atmosphere and the ground surface. In this study, MOD 09A1 and MCD 43A1 data were input into an inversion model based on the 4-scale geometric optical model to retrieve 8-d 500 m LAI products in China during the period 2000 to 2010. The resulting LAI product was validated using LAI measured in 6 typical areas. The spatial and temporal variations of
